a photo essay

I wanted to document a little about a recent show of photography at the David Brewer center in Berkeley. The photographer Joel Sartore has recorded in his own medium, photography, many species of birds, mammals, reptiles, etc. More and more of these creatures are being pushed to the brink of extinction, and some have actually left the planet already, sad to say. While not strictly an urban sketch, I tried to incorporate elements of the surroundings in one, and make the photos appear as what they are in the other.
